Biking

Bicycles combine the quietude, scenery, and fresh air of hiking with the speed, ease, and thrill of faster motor-powered sports. Whether riding paved roads, single track, or slickrock, area bike trips harness the power of your hearts and legs to explore the depths of the high desert, providing breathtaking 360-degree views the entire time. Cycling enthusiasts from all over the world have enjoyed Zion’s bike routes for decades, making places like Gooseberry Mesa, the Kolob Terrace Road, and the Zion Canyon Scenic Road famous amongst serious and casual riders alike.

Mountain Biking

Mountain biking in the areas bordering Zion National Park offer a tremendous variety of terrain, difficulty, and scenery. Beginning riders can choose from a variety of trails with little to no elevation gain, offering small challenges to make rides fun and engaging for both kids and adults. For more experienced bikers, heart-thumping single track rides provide opportunities for amazing scenic passages up, down, and through the raw, wild desert of the area formations. Technically advanced riders often seek the challenging slickrock obstacles of Gooseberry Mesa, where bikers throughout the country come to test their mettle on problems ranging from highly technical to clinically insane. Whatever your abilities or interests, it is easy to find a great ride or two to excite your appetite for rolling adventures on the thrilling mesas and cliffs of this amazing area.
